Breeding pulses to improve adaptive traits under conditions of general warming

The importance of leguminous crops as a source of high-quality protein, macroand microelements, dietary fiber, vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants is substantiated. Their significant positive role in maintaining high soil fertility due to biological nitrogen fixation is shown. Methods of breeding of soybean, pea and chickpea at the Plant Breeding and Genetics Institute are described. The characteristics of the bred varieties by elements of productivity, resistance to adverse abiotic environmental factors, biochemical parameters of seeds are given.
